Rep. Lee Zeldin, who became the presumed GOP candidate for New York governor after he objected to certifying the 2020 election results, now finds himself in an unexpected four-way primary on Tuesday
. Zeldin declined to comment on whether he expected Trump to endorse, saying, “I don’t want to say anything that would be interpreted as speaking for him.”
This year, the party messaging is particularly salient, he said, urging a focus on crime and the economy. Zeldin seems eager to widen his appeal to a broader base. When asked in the interview whether he’d always had gubernatorial ambitions, he chose to compliment Hillary Clinton, who as a senator had a reputation among members of both parties for showing up to every event, no matter how small, fully prepared and engaged, he said.
“I disagree with Bernie Sanders on what feels like just about everything,” Zeldin said. “However, I respect the fact that he actually believes what he’s fighting for.”
